About Champions
.............................

Founded on Christian principles, Champions Fastpitch Academy began in the Spring of 2000 as private pitching, we
have grown to now reach over 3000 kids in counties throughout Georgia, Alabama, and North Florida. After 10 years in Atlanta we have helped hundreds of young ladies reach their dreams of playing at the collegiate level. We now have 8 instructors offering pitching and hitting instruction, strength and conditioning programs, as well as a college recruiting service. Our mission is to build upon the God given potential of each individual, developing the skills needed to succeed on and off the field.

One of the greatest joys of coaching is to see young people realize their dreams and at Champions we have had the honor to see many of those dreams come true. Champions' instructors have devoted their lives to being positive role models for today's young people. Our desire is to develop and nurture athletes on and off the field. Our goal is to build strong character grounded in tremendous work ethic and centered on solid fundamentals... Developing a heart of a Champion that is second to none!
